The Devil’s Cage

Chapter 240 The Dead of Night

Hook is dead.

Qin Ran was not surprised to hear the news.

According to his estimation, the other party has more than half the possibility of being killed and silenced.

It's different from those three pawns who don't know anything.

Hook must have known something.

Therefore, it will definitely be killed.

It's just people who do it...

Qin Ran looked at Sergeant Culkin in front of him with indifferent eyes.

Under his gaze, the other party was sweating profusely.

"I didn't do it!"

"When I went to look for him, he was already dead!"

"If it was me, I must have run away!"

Culkin explained.

For such an explanation, Qin Ran instinctively did not believe it.

Although Calkin appeared in front of him again, all of this may be just a play by the other party, in order to eliminate his own suspicion with such actions.

Of course, it is also possible, as Calkin said, that he was not the one who did it.

There was another person who killed and silenced.

And it is not difficult to prove this.

"Wait a minute!"

After speaking, Qin Ran walked towards Herbert.

When Culkin's carriage drove up, Herbert just completed the previous notes, and the scholar kept looking here.

When Qin Ran walked over, Herbert immediately guessed what Qin Ran was thinking.

"You want to inspect the scene?"

"Go at ease!"

"With Harold and the two coachmen here, my safety is guaranteed!"

"What's more, the other party just killed Mikou, so he definitely doesn't want to make trouble!"

Herbert said with a smile.

"Be careful at all times!"

After Qin Ran exhorted, he looked at Harold and Joanna, and said, "I need to leave for a while, you can ask your servants to take out their weapons!"

When he first met Harold and Joanna, Kieran noticed that the two coachmen were unusual.

Far stronger than ordinary people, the calluses on the palms don't appear just by waving a whip every day.

Obviously, apart from the coachman, they also acted as bodyguards, such a responsibility.

This is a matter of reason.

Two children from upper-class families, if there are no protective measures, how can the adults feel at ease to let them go out.

"OK!"

"Leave it to me!"

Harold looked at Qin Ran in surprise. He didn't know when his bodyguards were discovered.

He thought he was doing well.

However, this did not prevent Harold from knowing what to do.

He immediately signaled to his coachman, and Joanna followed suit.

The long sword and quick-fire gun were taken out by the two coachmen from the seat and inside the carriage. Seeing the skillful movements of the two coachmen, Kieran nodded and greeted Herbert once more before boarding. Culkin's carriage.

Snapped!

With the twitch of the whip, the carriage started to drive.

Qin Ran sat face to face with Calkin.

Kieran leaned his body on the soft cushion and looked at the decoration inside the car.

The main color is red, mixed with some golden ornaments, making the whole carriage look extraordinarily luxurious, especially when Kieran confirms that those golden ornaments are really gold, and the blanket under his feet is also velvet, and the unremarkable curtains at hand are all made of real silk At that time, he had a new evaluation of the wealth owned by Culkin.

With the salary of the opposing policeman, even if it is at the level of sheriff, it is obviously impossible to own such a carriage.

The other party has to save up for at least ten years without eating or drinking.

As for the police car?

Anyone who believes is a fool.

"If you like, I can send you a carriage just like it!"

"It's guaranteed to be exactly the same, even the horses that pull the carts have the same bloodline!"

Calkin, who was fidgeting, looked at Kieran's scrutinizing gaze, and couldn't help saying.

"Really generous!"

Qin Ran laughed.

From the bottom of my heart, my previous evaluation of the other party's wealth has once again been raised by two levels.

"As long as you can let me go..."

"I am willing to give you all the wealth I have now!"

Calkin said slightly pleadingly.

Coupled with the other party's pale and sluggish face, it is really very pitiful.

But Qin Ran would not soften his heart in the slightest.

Even if what the other party said is true, Kieran will not be tempted at all. What he is after is not the 'ordinary wealth' in the dungeon world.

What's more, the reminder of the side mission was enough for Qin Ran to understand that the other party was not an innocent person.

If you are confused by the appearance in front of the other party, it must not be the other party who is miserable in the end.

"Wealth is not my pursuit."

"I want to know even more now how Hook died."

"Can you tell me?"

Qin Ran asked.

"I didn't kill it!"

Culkin emphasized again.

"Well, you didn't kill it!"

"Then how did you find Hook's body?"

Qin Ran changed his questioning method.

"After leaving Herbert's residence, I went directly to Hook's lair——I want to teach him a good lesson, for the fear I endured!"

"However, he is not in his lair!"

"I think he wants to escape, and I know the route and method of his escape!"

"The guy in charge of these 'things' is also one of my subordinates—but, apart from me and that guy, no one else knows!"

"What worries me is what happens today."

"So, I stayed back."

Culkin began to tell, with a complacent expression on his face involuntarily.

However, this smugness soon turned into a little panic.

He continued.

"I'm not a good policeman, but I can assure you that I've seen countless vicious guys, and I've experienced countless cases involving these guys!"

"But there has never been a single time that made me feel scared!"

"My Anzi and Hook are both dead!"

"Dead in Anzi's room!"

"The appearance of two people dying..."

At this point, Culkin paused.

He seemed to be thinking about how to describe it.

After four or five seconds, he found a word.

"Like a blooming flower!"

After Culkin finished speaking, his face became paler, and the feeling of fear was beyond words.

"Blooming flowers?"

Qin Ran raised his eyebrows.

It never occurred to him that such a word could be used to describe a corpse.

At the same time, in his mind, he clearly went through Calkin's words.

If it is really Culkin's mystification, these words are the best proof.

In the compartment after that, there was no sound of conversation again.

The carriage with the police badge on it drove into Burr City unimpeded.

Then, turning around and turning into a remote alley.

"arrive!"

As the driver of the car spoke, he graciously opened the door.

"Ahhh!"

But when he saw the coachman, who was also one of his subordinates, Culkin screamed again and again, and his whole body became limp in the carriage.

What a face that is.

It's like being burned by fire, and it's like pouring several liters of sulfuric acid.

The skin was completely burnt, and the bones could be seen in some places.

But the two eyeballs are intact.

It's just that without the cover of the skin, the two eyeballs are extremely abrupt in the eye sockets, black and white are distinct, and they keep turning, as if they are wound up.

"Head, it's here!"

"You, and Your Excellency 2567, it's time to hit the road!"

A piercing smile appeared on the driver's terrifying and ferocious face.
